This new practice, affectionately dubbed as \u2018runch\u2019 (run during lunch) unites colleagues for a mid-day run, creating a unique opportunity to break away from work, move, and bond outdoors in a fun and energizing way. Runch is quickly becoming a weekly favorite for employees who meet up every Wednesday to stay active and connect with their colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-journey-behind-the-runch-from-maternity-leave-to-running-shoes\">The journey behind the runch; From maternity leave to running shoes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Mathilde_Bia.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866654\" style=\"width:200px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Mathilde_Bia.png 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Mathilde_Bia.png?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspiration and driving force behind this initiative was&nbsp;<strong>Mathilde Bia<\/strong>, our colleague from Capgemini Engineering, who started her running journey after a significant life change. &#8220;After having my first baby, I realized I was moving more during maternity leave than when I was sitting at my computer all day,&#8221; she shares. &#8220;I felt great, so I decided to make some changes in my life, one of which was starting a running club here at Capgemini Engineering.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Mathilde had never run in her life before! &#8220;It was a big challenge for me, not just to put the initiative together, but to start running myself,&#8221;&nbsp;she admits. After returning to work in September 2024 and with support from another colleague Nick Chavanu, she launched the \u2018first runch\u2019 in early October! Since then, the group has been running together every Wednesday at lunchtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-personal-and-professional-benefits-of-runches\">The personal and professional benefits of runches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nick_chavanu.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866653\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nick_chavanu.png 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nick_chavanu.png?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key elements that make the runches special is how they foster a sense of community. For Mathilde, the goal was clear: &#8220;To share a moment with colleagues, get moving, and enjoy some fresh air.&#8221; Mathilde explains that being active gives her a mental boost as well, \u201cIt changes my mindset, brings so much energy, and helps me concentrate. &#8220;The benefits of runches go beyond physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Nick Chavanu puts it \u2013 &#8220;Running offers clear benefits for both physical and mental health. Moving my body during the day helps me reset and provides a boost of concentration and energy for the afternoon ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nico_Bollen.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866652\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nico_Bollen.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Nico_Bollen.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Nico Bolen, another enthusiastic colleague, running during lunch isn\u2019t just about fitness \u2013 &#8220;It\u2019s a great way to clear up my mind and get energized for a productive afternoon. I\u2019ve been running during lunch breaks for a while, even at customer sites.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-keeps-them-going\">What keeps them going<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The motivation behind the runches is simple but powerful: the joy of running together and the positive impact on well-being. Whether it\u2019s the physical benefits, the opportunity to socialize, or just the joy of getting outside, employees look forward to their weekly runs and the moments of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mathilde, it\u2019s all about the feeling she gets after each run: &#8220;The joy and benefits I feel after each run keep me motivated to pursue it every Wednesday. It\u2019s also very motivating to see my progress as a runner, especially with the support of the others along the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick says, &#8220;Running with colleagues offers a wonderful opportunity to connect in a way that goes beyond the usual Teams calls or meeting rooms. Taking a break to get outside is quite refreshing, especially in winter when daylight is scarce.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nico shares a similar sentiment, saying &#8220;What keeps me motivated is definitely the team. Each week, I get to spend 30 minutes chatting with a set of interesting colleagues while getting some exercise. I believe that this kind of group runs offer a fantastic opportunity to network and connect with familiar colleagues while also meeting new ones.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866651\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/The_Running_Squad.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-community-of-runners\">A New Community of Runners<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What started as a personal initiative for Mathilde has grown into a vibrant, supportive community of runners at Capgemini.
